Edit php sites!

[webmasterinfo]

Hello all!
Just bought a site written in PHP, and i will like to customize but when i try to edit it in frontpage it look real weird and nothing like it when its online. Is it any editor who get the hole php site like the one online.. Hard to explain but it looks real strange when the scripts try to find its path.

So my questions is if there is any editor good to make changes in Php sites
Thanks,

well if you open it in dreamweaver and such, you dont see the actual php code in preview mode like with html. Basicly its just code. You have to edit the code manually in the source and upload it everytime to test it

i would recommend dreamweaver

Or you can install Apache, PHP, MySQL on your computer and look your website on localhost... Then, you could edit code and see the results in your browser. But you can't find a WYSIWYG Php editor..

I second this.. this is the best option for coders/webmasters. :wave:

aslo, zend studio is a great tool for editing php.

download and install this (assuming you have and use windows)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpdev5/

phpdev is a bundle of PHP/Apache/MySQL/PERL/phpMyAdmin/PHP-GTK preconfigured to run \\\'out of the box\\\' on the win32 platform. phpdev is constantly upgraded to the latest versions of its components, and grows in functionality with each release, phpdev

If you need any further help - let me know, I'd be glad to

Well first of all Frontpage doesnt do php I think. Dreamweaver is the best. You can also install that phpdev thing and preview everything on your computer before uploading

I use a basic server program called Abyss, I need to install php and mysql, and configure them manually though.

There's a good tutorial here : Tutorial: How to Install Apache2 MySQL and PHP on Windows

I just used this program to install my Apache/php/mysql server. Works really slick. One click and it installs everything. Give it a try.

Mr. webmasterinfo, I'd strongly recommend CPG-NUKE 9.0 aka DragonFLy CMS for you. It's real easy to edit, and it has countless features. you can download it for free from http://cpgnuke.com

Maybe cgpnuke is a good CMS but I'm sure it's not a PHP editor :D

If you're going to do PHP in FrontPage don't use PHP tags like this:
<?php
code goes here
?>

Use tags like this:
<script language="php">
code goes here
</script>

You still have to publish your website to see the PHP code in action, but at least it will look a little more organized in FrontPage.
